2.0;siologin (sio_line_login), revision 2.0, 83/04/28
SIOLOGIN (SIO_LINE_LOGIN) --
usage:  SIOLOGIN dev_name [[-DIALIN] [-N name] prog [ args...]]


  SIOLOGIN  listens  to an sio line, invokes the login sequence and if the login
  is successful, runs the program, prog.  If prog is not specified,  /com/sh  is
  invoked.    Dev_name  is  the  sio  device  descriptor  pathname  and  must be
  specified.  Options, if specified, must precede the prog and its arguments.

  SIOLOGIN MUST BE MADE A MANAGER WITHIN THE LOGIN  PROTECTED  SUBSYSTEM  or  it
  will  not  work.    (cf: 'help login window' and read the protected subsystems
  documentation).

  SIOLOGIN is most useful in conjunction with SIOMONIT.


OPTIONS

  -DIALIN            The sio line connection is remote.  If the line is  remote,
                     SIOLOGIN  asks  for  an access password before invoking the
                     login sequence.  The access password  is  a  single  string
                     read  from  `node_data/siologin_access.    Also  for remote
                     lines, SIOLOGIN waits for carrier detect and hangs up after
                     the invoked program returns.  If the connection  is  local,
                     SIOLOGIN   waits  for  a  cr  before  beginning  the  login
                     sequence.    SIOLOGIN  logs  invalid  login   attempts   in
                     `node_data/siologin_log.

  -N name             Specifies the name to give the process.  (Takes precedence
                     over the cp  option  -n  when  SIOLOGIN  is  cp'd  directly
                     instead of through SIOMONIT.)
